Founded 42 years ago in a merger of a group of drug companies, American Home soon moved beyond the medicine cabinet. Though ethical drugs, ranging from antibiotics to Equanil to Sabin polio vaccine, account for 35% of sales, and proprietary drugs supply another 17%, American Home now reaches into such diverse lines as kitchenware and candy...
